FAQs

What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?

Isotex 10000 is a membrane technology that provides waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection. The '10000' rating signifies that the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure before leaking and allows 10,000g/m²/24hrs of water vapor to pass through, indicating good breathability.

Is the filling down or synthetic?

The filling is synthetic, specifically a 'Down-Touch, Synthetic, Warmloft' filling, which mimics the feel of down but performs better when wet and is hypoallergenic.

What is the purpose of the DWR finish?

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is applied to the outer fabric to make water bead up and roll off, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated. This helps maintain breathability and comfort.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, the jacket is machine washable at 40°C. It is important to use a mild liquid detergent and avoid fabric softener to preserve the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.

How do I ensure the best waterproof performance?

Proper care is key. Wash according to instructions, avoid fabric softener, and consider re-applying a DWR treatment periodically. Ensure all zippers are fully closed and cuffs/hem are adjusted.

What ages have a printed name label?

The product information states that printed name labels are included for ages up to 8 years old.

Are the seams sealed?

Yes, the jacket features taped seams, meaning all stitching lines are sealed with waterproof tape to prevent water penetration.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the fabric.

Ensure the DWR finish is still effective. If not, consider re-applying a DWR treatment. Check that all seams are properly taped and intact. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softener.

The zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.

The jacket feels cold or less warm than expected.

Ensure the garment is layered appropriately over warm clothing. Synthetic insulation works best when trapped air is present. Check that the cuffs and hem are securely adjusted to prevent drafts.

The hood is not staying up in windy conditions.

Adjust the hook and loop fasteners on the cuffs and the shockcord hem to create a more secure fit around the body, which can help anchor the hood. Ensure the Sherpa lining is not interfering with the fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly waterproof and windproof for excellent weather protection.
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during activity.
  • Synthetic filling remains warm even when wet.
  • Adjustable features ensure a snug and comfortable fit.
  • Durable construction suitable for active children.
  • Includes reflective trim for added safety.

Cons

  • Printed name label only included for sizes up to age 8.
  • Specific jacket length provided only for 10-11 years and 6-7 years, making precise fit estimation difficult for size 6.
  • Relies on synthetic insulation, which may not be as compressible as down for very compact packing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the package.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for general outdoor wear for children. It is suitable for layering over everyday clothing.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable at 40°C. Wash with similar colours.
  • Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent. Do not use biological detergents or bleach.
  • Softener: Do not use fabric softener, as it can affect the performance of the waterproof and breathable fabric.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Alternatively, hang to dry.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. The heat can damage the fabric and its protective coatings.
  • Re-proofing: For optimal long-term waterproofing, consider re-applying a DWR treatment periodically according to product instructions, usually after several washes.
